TENZIN!


Unlike some, the essence of a true party never get's lost in translation when Tenzin decides to write a tune. Having drunk more than his fair share of bar tabs, rocked way too many venues and doused thousands upon thousands with his signature sound, the Sydney rocker knows exactly what it takes to up the anti and make the punters sweat.

Contrary to his consistently hectic appearances schedule, the Sydney young buck actually gets some spare time to write a tune every now and then (perhaps when he's not rocking the popular Fuck Fluro parties). Providing the perfect opportunity to channel his live sets into 'oh so sweet' 5 minute poetry, this free jam is consistently put to good use given that he's completed plenty of original and remix work, tracks that form centrepieces for his packed out sets. Tenzin's latest effort, coming in the form of 'Red Neck Noise', provides a peak time electro banger with a comedic breakdown that perfectly represents the title - its straight up red neck shit baby! The drop will have the fiends going wild and the drunks toppling over - a statement we are happy to stand by. Your going to love this shit!


AJAX ROCKS FUTURE


Two things gave Brisbane festival goers a mighty beat down yesterday. The annoying persistent rain, and Sweat It Out head honcho Ajax. While the element's certainly didn't add joy to anyones day, the latter of the two really livened up the afternoon crowd with his eclectic style and fast as f#%k mixing. With at least a thousand hand's in the air, Mr Thomas bounced around the decks and did his thing, dropping a number of Ajax originals and everything from 'Bangkok' to the Law & Order official theme song. 

Despite a number of cancellations by the likes of 'Does It Offend You, Yeah' and so forth, the crowd laid witness to stellar performances by a massive selection of artist's. As the rain got heavier, punters found themselves hitting covered stages like the Pure Blonde Cube, the packed out Fuck Fluro stage and the rigged up Silent Disco, giving go-getters like Noy and Wolfie a solid selection of crowd to impress during their awesome sets. With locals like Danny T (Pink Flamingo) and Tim Fuchs (Pink Flamingo) also throwing down and showing their worth alongside the international heavy hitters, Brisbane punters had plenty to be proud of walking out after the 10 hour event. If your feeling up to listening to more music after yesterday, enjoy a few AJAX goodies and get your dancing shoes re-polished for March 11th when he rocks The Met with none other than Boys Noize and Housemeister! 

PS: These tunes and mixtapes are by no means new, but its impossible for AJAX to go stale, especially now that they have all been put in the Fridge.


tracklist in comments!

DANNY T GOES TROPICAL


Rain, Hail or shine, Danny T's latest solo effort will take you to the place you want to be. Encompassing all the elements of his recent production and live sets, 'Tropical Punch' dishes up a huge summer vibe, arming you with a fresh Pina Colada and thrusting you straight to the Mediterranean!

The funky 4 track EP leaves a straight party aftertaste in your mouth, with three tasty originals from our main man Danny T, plus a remix from Dubnoir's wonder-child Kyle Watson. As expected, Kyle add's his trademark jacked-out funk to 'Vaca Compana', working a slightly different style over an already dominant track. The suitably titled release has already gained support from Dirtybird regular Solo alongside a number of other big name artists, with Dubnoir keeping the 'smash hit' tradition alive and throwing smiles on punters faces worldwide. Due out on March 15th, we've been thrown a number of 192kbps samples by everyones favourite ex-local Chris James, providing the perfect 'try before you buy' opportunity for anyone who's crazy enough to still be sitting on the fence. Click the links about the post, thank the artists, punch March 15th into your diary and wait in crazy anticipation!


CHILLI N SURECUT


While browsing around A-trak's official website we noticed a cool little vid of him and Chilli Gonzales performing at the 'Piano Talk Show' in New York a week or two back (watch the video here). A-trak just never ceases to amaze us, but this time he was happy to hand the limelight over to Chilli, stating 'I strongly recommend Gonzo's new mixtape, trust me, you've never heard anything like this'. Curious we jumped the link asap and downloaded what was sure to be something special, especially given the calibre of Mr Macklovitch. Upon completion, 'Pianist Envy' served us up a 30 minute remix hot pot, spewing out a range of piano infused hip-hop, electro and club remixes. Expect tunes from heavy hitters like 50 Cent, Daft Punk, Lil Wayne and heaps more - but with a nice twist!


BONUS?
The Surecut Kids always work a wonder and this time they've reworked the Australian classic 'How Bizarre'. We're running on short time so click here to see what the boys had to say about it on their blog and download the tune at the link above - its more than worth it!

LUKI INTERVIEW


Anyone who rocks the Monastery on a weekend has a pretty fair idea who Luke Ellis' moniker is. The name Luki has become a trademark of the now famed Dirty Thursday posters - something the experienced local is quite happy with. Despite his experience taking him to all the premier hotspots around Brisbane and on a number of interstate ventures, Luki still calls Monastery home, with the relationship proving mutually beneficial for the two parties. We had a chat with the Brisbane DJ/Producer recently to find out how everything is going. 

You've been in the scene for quite awhile now, give us a run down of a few stand out memories!
Mate there are so many I just wouldn't know where to begin. Off the top of my head I would have to say my first ever set on a Thursday at Monastery. That was definitely one of the best nights of my life. Then after that I have to mention playing down in Sydney at Moulin Rouge. Playing in a different city for the first time is an experience thats for sure. Recently thought, the two stand out memories I have are definitely smashing it out at BBQ Beats and Parklife... Two of the best set's and times I have ever had!

What gets you going more - writing a great tune and getting it out there for the first time or playing in front of a big sweaty crowd?
I love dancing around the studio after writing something I like, but at that stage you still have no idea if people are going to like the track or not. Then when I actually play it out and see peoples reactions, provided it goes well - now that gets you going like crazy!

How is the production side of things going for you at the moment?
Really well actually. Doing lots of different stuff, plenty of remixes coming out across the board as well as a few originals. My newest tune 'Bounce' will be coming out in about a month or so with remixes by Hey Now (Sydney), our local boy Danny T, Benny Electric and also Rave Radio. Also, I am about to finish a tune with Ryan Riback from Melbourne and a few other artists so be sure to stay tuned!

Your a close set man without a doubt, how does it feel when they switch things up for you with an open?
(Laughs) I don't mind doing the 9-10 on occasions. It just means I have an early night and I actually wake up nice and refreshed the next day for once. Also it means I can play some different music for a change, but don't get me wrong, like you said I am a close set man through and through!

Do you have a stand out favourite in regards to a club night?
Mate I have always loved my Thursdays and Saturdays at the Monastery as they have always been consistant. On the other hand though, it's always great to play a festival or a Fuck Fluro!

Whats plans in the next few years for the Luki name?
I really just want to smash out some production as hard as I can. Getting plenty of tunes out there for everyone to enjoy is a big goal for me and something I'm really aiming for!

Any thanks and shout outs?
I have to thank all of my best friends, most of whom are DJ's, as they helped me get my feet steady. Also anyone and everyone at Monastery for everything they have done for me over the times.

Thanks for your time mate, looking forward to catching another set sometime soon!

Enjoy a few bootlegs ladies and gentleman. You can thank Luki at the links scattered around the post!


JACK BEATS ESSENTIAL MIX


It took two separate and amazing entities to create what the world now knows as Jack Beats. Firstly, there was Beni G from the highly popular Mixologists. These self proclaimed 'leaders of the true school' and all round hip-hop connoisseurs made a name for themselves before you even looked at turntables and still rip shit to this day. Then came Plus One, spawned from the widely recognised Scratch Perverts, a man who describes his sound as that of 'a cat been hoovered up by a group of angry trolls' and is known by every worthwhile face on the DMC circuit.

While amazing in their own individual worlds, the bang the duo made when they merged was impossible to anticipate, even for themselves. Since their newest alter-egos initiation to the dance music world, they've racked up an amazing number of collaborations, toured worldwide, featured on Radio 1 and become a household name for any punter who likes their house music bassed out and versatile. So what brought us to our knees and has us typing this shit frantically, desperate to force feed you with some audible goodness? They've just done an Essential Mix for Pete Tong's famous Radio 1 slot and its straight up amazing. Wait, it's more than amazing - it's beyond anything our words can hit you with. The only way this tape can get justice is if you play it repeatedly for the next 48 hours - even longer if you still don't have a clue who Jack Beats are...

AXE 2 GRIND EP


Our main man Jackbot shot us some love today, coming in the form of his latest release forthcoming on LU10 Records. To give you some background, LU10 was created by the duo of masterminds that is 'Kitch N Sync' and was founded back in November of 2009. Using early 2010 to get their feet steady, they have called on the duties of Jackbot to lay down some signature filth, coming in the form of the 'Axe 2 Grind' EP, due to drop late March. The EP is everything punters want at the moment, including remixes from Ishe, Filthy Rehab, Royal K, JackDaRipper, Timoshii and many more. The release has already nabbed praises from a tonne of big names, including WoNK, Danny Soundz and Nu Ravers, proving that the chance of it going boom is pretty damn high. We understand a feature just isn't a feature without a taste tester, so we have a 128kbps clip to throw your way! It's the Figure remix featured on the EP, coming in the form of a Dutch influenced peak time banger that would drop pretty nicely on a crowd who's ready to get down. Enjoy and be sure to nab the release when it breaks open Beatport!

LAIDBACK LUKE!


Ask any club music connoisseur about Laidback Luke and they would tell you he's one hell of an artist. The Philippine born producer has worked with the likes of Diplo, A-Trak, Kanye West, Tiesto and everyone in between, using his depth of knowledge and precise engineering skills to top charts worldwide. Since 2008 when he dropped in at #48 in DJ Magazines 'Top 100', Laidback Luke has done everything in his power to hit the top - proving he may very well be laid back about everything except his music.

Back in 2008, Luke Van Scheppingen DJ'ed worldwide at over 200 events, released 15 remixes and 5 originals and wow'ed the world over, all in a 12 month period many called his 'breakthrough year'. Knowing well and truly the modern DJ was more than just a music machine, Luke spent his time establishing a solid website and focusing his efforts on his now famed 'Super You&Me' club night, initially held at 3001 in Dusseldorf, Germany. The now internationally recognised event has featured everyone from John Dahlback to A-trak to Bart-B-More, with his latest night coming March 6th @ Panama in Amsterdam. The night incorporates everything Luke believes a club night should, with the superstar quoting 'plenty of kids in superhero outfits, a huge crowd and nice girls' - a combination that has clasped his vote for best club night of 2010. 

Aside from knowing how to party, Luke's laid the brag-worthy role of a Pioneer DJ and spokesperson, constantly speaking on behalf of the international super manufacturer. He also holds a soft spot in Radio 1's heart, with Pete Tong constantly splattering Laidback Luke tunes on his Essential Mixes and Kissy Sellout praising the amazing producer. If that's not enough, his name has been nominated for 3 IDMA Awards, he owns a record label thats dropped hits including SonicC's 'Stickin' and has sat on the Beatport throne a number of times for his amazing production skills. After all this, you can tell just how amazing this kid is and we have proof. Enjoy some new and old bootlegs he has thrown out over time - courtesy of your friends in the Fridge!

BOOM?



This post has all the pre-requisites to qualify as our third 'tracky tuesday', but the name is just too bad. Instead I have opted for something that doesn't make any sense and has very little meaning - a name I am much more comfortable using. Bullshit technicalities aside, today we have tunes from Aspin & Dipace!


Our boys Aspin & Dipace dropped us a line the other day to inform that a new bootleg was in the works. It got us pretty excited, knowing the stature of the duo. After having airplay on the likes of Radio 1, gained support from big name industry players and pushing out an extensive discography - we knew their 10 years of production experience wouldn't go astray when it came to their latest remix. Honing their sights on Noob & Brodinski's hit 'Peanuts Club', the Aspin & Dipace freight train ran the original into the ground with a heavy, thick bass-line, creating a peak time banger destined to make crowds sweat. Also included is their latest tape, holding tunes from the likes of Filthy Rich, Afrojack and themselves (tracklist in comments). Tasty!

BONUS BEATS?
(this one just chops and changes, you could do the same on decks, but who cares!)

... THEN THERE WAS FOUR


We run a tight ship here at Fridgejet. Since mid 2008 when we first opened our doors and offered artists and agencies a place to keep their tunes fresh, only three people have had a say in what goes on. Why? Keeping this place personal is essential in making sure we dictate what you receive - something we would like to think Fridgejet does pretty well.

So what did it take for us to lay down the gauntlet and open our frosty doors to a fourth (and dare we say final) contributor for the remainder of 2010? We could make up a fancy and long winded story, but when it comes down to it, a likeminded appreciation for music and an obvious interest in what we do was all he needed. He currently resides in London, has a fondness for almost every style of club music, loves spending his time chatting to big name DJ/producers, has roots in Australia and knows how to have a good time. On the flipside, he hates trance, punters who need crazy disco biscuits to appreciate music, people who don't pull their weight and all things Myspace. He's partied in clubs all around the world and holds a true patron perspective on most of the big name DJ's playing in clubs today. Besides this knowledge, he's laid back, easy going and very approachable, something his stature would not necessarily suggest. HE also has a name, Adam, and we're happy to welcome him to the team. We hope he serves you well :)

Guess you deserve some tunes after all that?

LOCAL LOVE


Kicking back to the basics, we're going to give a shout out to a few locals blasting around the Brisbane scene at the moment. The 'local' has been an essential part of club life ever since DJ's started invoicing their late night homes. Not only do they throw diversity into a night, but they warm up perfectly for the main act, they bring their friends and they drink more and act less responsible than their international counterparts. All in all, a good local can be as fun, if not more, than the headliner on any given night - it just takes the right local. Here's two!

Tim Dening's alter ego 'Tooshoes' is a familiar name among the Brisbane late night cohort. Incorporating his own blend of bootlegs, mashups and remixes into impressive club sets, the friendly local has a pretty good idea how to stamp a party with his signature style. Having played at premier events like Fuck Fluro, Disco Disco and Future Music Festival, the Tooshoes name has been splattered all over the place - with punters always reacting positively to the tunes he serves up. We received a number of his production efforts recently and its obvious they are drenched in the party vibe he's so well known for. Nab them and thank the man himself when you get the chance, just click on this link!

Slop Rock is definitely something to be talked about. The duo consists of Tomy (Horror Disco Radio Show) and Biggy Mitz, forming a production team thats got their head screwed on and the programming side of things wired. They produce a variety of music, venturing threw dubstep, electro, straight house and plenty of other realms, giving their name a versatile aura that many DJ's lack these days. Check out the taste testers and pay the boys a visit when you get the chance!

Sunday Headaches


Ouch.

That four letter word seems like a pretty adequate way to summarise the general feeling for us come Sunday morning and after this weekend, it couldn't be more relevant. Despite the feelings of dizziness, nausea and vertigo, we decided to shoot out some of the tracks we've received over the two day break. It's a random collection and theres no method to our madness, so just enjoy the tracks and download and play them - pretty damn simple if you ask me. Oh and one last thing before we jump into it... we are currently asking YOU the readers who you would like us to feature next! It's a status update on out Facebook page and you can reach it by hitting : http://www.facebook.com/fridgejetmusic. DO IT!

Afrojack is simply amazing. It's very hard to find words to describe what he does, but the Dutch house producer seems to have a nack for writing tunes people want to hear. The latest 'Ministry of Sound' album 'Underground' is a testament to just how hot he is right now, with his tracks taking up over 50% of the first CD. He splattered his signature goodness all over Family nightclub recently and for punters who were lucky enough to experience it first hand, things got a little crazy. We've included two bootlegs for anyone who's as addicted to him as we are. You have the man himself, Angger Dimas and Walta to thank for these!

Brodinski has made a name for himself via a series of versatile and ear catching productions and he could probably ride his wave of success all the way to retirement - but he's not. Still putting in more effort than ever, its amazing how different the French producer is in comparison to his Parisian peers. The guys programming is straight up impeccable and its easy to be left dumbfounded at the lack of limits he holds. Want proof? Check out his 'My Jerk' mixtape thats just dropped. After a string of electro/bassline and club productions, Louis smashed a straight hip-hop tape from nowhere, conjuring up what I can only describe as magic! We've also included a bit of Skream, a tune Brodinski favours highly and posted on his rad blog SmokeMashine! Check it out. 

We got a line to us dropped about upcoming DJ and producer Danny Dove and we'll safely say we must have missed his introduction to the world. With the name ringing no bells what-so-ever, we were surprised to learn the kid already has remixes for the likes of Moby and Empire of the Sun, alongside having airplay on Pete Tong's Essential Selection radio show. Wow! His latest EP out on Glam Rox Records has a big room uplifting feel, including remixes from eSquire, Alex Miles and a cool dubstremental. We've included a few tunes for you to get a taste and if you like the EP be sure to buy the 'One Life' EP right HERE!

PUNKY BLASTER


We don't know much about Punky Blaster. What we do know is that they are two French guys, they like heavy electro and there is pretty much no limitations to what they will remix or bootleg. After a quick browsing of their Myspace we were hit with everything from Britney Spears remixes too Mr Oizo bootlegs, giving us a fair sure idea the boys are versatile. They are a new duo so its safe to say bigger stuff is to come, but we thought shooting you a few of their tracks at the moment was suitable, just incase you wanna get on the bandwagon before everyone else does!


BONUS?

RIVA STARR FEATURE



Riva Starr is a name considered very familiar to anyone with an interest in modern house music. Having shot to the top after a string of head turning releases on some of the most talked about labels, Riva Starr couldn't be any hotter right now. What's quite remarkable though is how quickly Stefano Miele, aka Riva Starr, established himself so prominently on a DJ/producer circuit thats notoriously difficult to break. It doesn't hurt that Claude VonStroke and Jesse Rose, the two men who sit atop of the pile, happen to be his biggest fans!

Riva's cleverly structured productions have made him a very sought after collaboration companion, completing remixes for Malente, Fatboy Slim, our very own Reekay Garcia, Tom Piper, Daniel Farley and many more. To hype up one of his recent releases "Dance Me" (one of my all time favorites), he made a promotional video equally captivating as the song. This song has also reached many top 10 DJ and music charts. The man also currently has an album which Beatport is exclusively promoting as one of their cream of the crop for the month. "If live gives you lemons, then make lemonade" includes all of his most recent productions plus some groovy, stripped back tech house tunes that I'm sure you'll find perfect for a warm-up set! If you've been nestled under a rock, check out the tunes and BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix I've included below to get a fair idea just what Riva Starr is capable of.

Guerilla Farts?


You probably know the Dada Life name from their recent remix of Alex Gophers 'Handguns' tune, but there's a lot more to the interesting duo than that. Hailing from the Sweden, the producer/DJ's spend their time rocking parties with their extensive original and remix collection, running their own website and happily providing the public with all the production pieces to their music. Huh? Yes. They give away remix packs for all their tunes, stating 'we know that you can do it too, maybe even better'. If that's not confidence I'd be pretty hard strapped to find what is!

While we could talk all day about the beauties that lie within the Dada Life world, its their interesting (yet inappropriately named) set of 'Guerilla Fart' edits that brings us here. The term Guerilla Fart portrays something quite unpleasant, but you'll be happy to know this 10 pack of bootleg remixes are anything but. The duo started them quite awhile ago and have given them away to the public and we just thought we'd provide you with one easy back-catalouge so that you can grab them all and flog them like we did. There's something for everyone, so enjoy the wide range of tuneage and check back with us tomorrow for more of the same!

Shameless self-promotion is an essential part of any music blog... well on second thoughts thats a lie, but who cares. Awhile back KEEN?

BOYS NOIZE 'POWER' LAUNCH


In celebration of Arcade Creative's official Boys Noize 'Power' album launch on March 11th @ The Met (check the event here), we have decided to throw you a few audible reasons why you should snap up some pre-sale tickets before they run out the door. Like I said in our last post, I'm now writing for The Arcade Creative so to get the full post jump on their site via the link. Until then, enjoy some Beatacue love and a few other goodies courtesy of the German juggernaut himself.


SURECUT KIDS!


We've raved and ranted about the Gold Coast boys time and time again and this occasion is all about sharing the love once again, especially given its valentines day. The duo felt it necessary to throw some goodies to their fans on the Americanised holiday and we here at Fridgejet are definitely not complaining. We've got two tunes to throw your way, one of which is a drum and bass version of 'Through to Me' by Lychee Martini which is sure to get the bass heads chugging. The second of the two is their work on the XX remix of 'You've got the Love' by Florence & The Machine... thats a mouth full. Either way, its pretty obvious by now that anything with the Surecut brand on it is going to get the party started, so download the tunes and shoot the boys some love by clicking the picture!


DAFT PUNK BOOTLEG


Champion Beats sure can throw around a tune or two and we've become really fond of their taste in music of late. Their EP's bang hard and the artists under their clasp seem to have a pretty good idea how to write a hit tune, or in this case, bootleg. We just received a Daft Punk bootleg from none other than Kerrie Nation and after a solid listen, we just love it. It's nothing over the top and keeps a good portion of the classic Daft Punk tune, but adds a perfect little element to it and smashes those kick drums up a notch. If your a fan, thank Kerrie Nation right here and be sure to keep an eye on Champion Beats in the coming months!
